Creator's Key Takeaways

do the prices of the newest icon class ships mean the end of affordable cruising no God please no

icon of the se's construction cost is around2 billion surpassing the prior record of 1.43 billion for Allure of the Seas

icon sold out in 24 hours after being open for booking and then it opened up some due to normal cancellations but prices only went up

I don't think this is the end actually I believe it's quite the opposite what they're doing is expanding into three different levels of cruising

Creator's Tips & Advice

Wait until the newness wears off to potentially get better prices
Book as early as possible if the pricing is within your budget
Look for group rates to save money per person
Consider last-minute fares after the final payment date, but be aware of potential airfare and planning issues
